By 2015, 1 trillion devices on the planet shall generate 2.5 billion gigabytes of data every day. Busigence Technologies, the brainchild of Pranav Verma, is among the very few companies which understand that information can be an organization's biggest asset and that the value of information lies in the using of it, smartly. Pranav, along with his co-founder, Prashant,was driven by a simple thought 'information is not knowledge' while establishing Busigence. "We defined Business Intelligence as the technique use to reach decisions from data. We observed that people disguise information as knowledge and take business decisions based on the facts available to them, which in turn are not futile in anyway; sometimes very harmful though," he explains about the idea leading to the inception of Busigence, a wall-to-wall business intelligence company.

"Our USP remains with our competency on technologies and understanding of domain we use to do these insightful tasks," he further adds.

Pranav, an alumnus of Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, recounts the only challenge while setting up the company was getting compatible resources to work on niche technologies which are still considered as novel in market.

This program covers each and every aspect of data journey with a unique blend of science, technology and business.
